My new tablet

Hi,
I have just bought a new (very cheap) tablet and am confused about the processor.
It is a Synaptics 7" MID and the processor was specified as being A10 1500MHz.
The box has no identification on it at all. No make, name or model.
When I look at 'about tablet' the info is very sketchy and says only model MID then android and kernel version.
I have installed the Quadrant app, and the processor spec says this:-
ARMv7 Processor rev2 (v71)
current freq 1008MHz
max freq 1008
min freq 60MHz
Cores 1
Architecture 7
BogoMIPS 1001.88
Hardware sun4i
Revision 2
Serial # 0000000000000000

The tablet runs reasonably well, but on such as google maps or street view, it is incredibly slow.
Could anyone tell me if this is as specified please?

Many thanks
frostyboy

Hi and welcome frostyboy,

The A10 is most likely from Allwinner, based on the ARM Cortex-A8 processor and Mali-400 GPU (Wiki says!)
Here is Allwinner Technology official product page, in Chinese...
Your test says the chip was running at 1GHz during the test, but that doesn't mean it cannot achieve the advertised 1.5GHz.

This System on Chip (SoC) is powerful enough to handle Google Maps properly. I have a less powerful phone which does.

Cheers,
Alban
